A little film called Drillbit Taylor first surfaced several weeks ago, and had a mostly tepid reception amongst the blogging public. It didn’t have a particularly promising premise; Owen Wilson as a homeless man who poses as a bodyguard when he realizes it’s the perfect “in” to robbing houses. His clients? Unpopular schoolkids who get bullied.

Fiddy cent, yo!You know…I don’t really have anything against 50 Cent personally. If you can get shot THAT many times and still be walking around there’s a certain level of respect for that. But the man should NOT be making video games. And in case the first pile of steamy crapola that was his first one wasn’t convincing enough for you (After watching Sessler cover it on X-Play, I’m amazed Sessler can still walk upright without throwing up just from the memory of this nightmare.) maybe this’ll convince you.

Nick Chester, in his Destructoid blog, related to us the story of the upcoming 50 Cent video game, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

Grand Theft Auto Zombie. Whodathunkit?Grand Theft Auto Zombie! Man, who would’ve thought you could see those words ever put together in one exciting bundle of glee? Well, there they are, for better or for worse.

Not just for Nintendo any more!Okay, so by now, everybody is well aware of the enterprising soul out there took advantage of N+ (whose motto must be identical to that of Globo Gym from Dodgeball: “We’re Better Than You! And We Know It!”) and its level design feature to create actual replicas of The Legend of Zelda.

It’s amazing, make no mistake, and I can just hear the boys at Big N shrieking in rage that their console titles have basically been ganked out from under them and there’s really not much they can do about it.

rom-check-fail.gifLink attacking spaceships with a sword! The Spy Hunter car shooting Goombas! Has the world gone crazy? Yes, yes it has. Rom Check Fail is a crazy freeware game that combines a bunch of 80s game into a tight, WarioWare type package. It’s completely nuts and I love every second of it.

The game is a jumbled mismatch of classic games in a bite-sized shell. Each level is just one screen with the goal merely to eliminate your foes. But it changes constantly. One second you’re playing as Pac-Man trying to dodge the ships from Space Invaders and all of a sudden you become Mario and your enemies are waving parallel lines from some game I don’t recognize. Rom Check Fail is now the number one cause of ADD.
